STUDENTS and employees can now enjoy faster internet after the Department of Information and Communications Technology installed free wifi in three campuses of Mariano Marcos State University.

The three campuses are in Batac, Dingras and Laog.

“Being one of DICT’s activated sites, we now have more access points located at the university’s main Library and Center for Flexible Learning in Batac Campus; College of Teacher Education in Laoag Campus; and College of Agriculture, Food and Sustainable Development in Dingras,” MMSU President Shirley Argupis said.

“Users may connect to the ‘Free Wi-Fi for All’ hotspot in the said locations to enjoy a good speed internet connection,” she added.

The MMSU was the first of 24 state universities and colleges to enjoy free internet.

The DICT has installed free wifi spots to give Filipinos access to opportunities, education, and information and the ability to participate in the growing digital economy.

“The newly activated sites are just a portion of the more than 8,900 Free Wi-Fi For All sites nationwide,” the department said.
